Iconic Bat-Signal lit up cities across the UK to celebrate The Dark Knight on Batman Day 2021
*** FREE FOR EDITORIAL USE *** The iconic Bat-Signal lit up London's skyline on Park Row to celebrate DC’s Caped Crusader on Batman Day 2021. This was one of four projections as the signal travelled from London, up to Liverpool, Glasgow and back down to London from sundown until almost midnight on Saturday 18th September.
To honour Batman Day 2021, the iconic Bat-Signal shone a light on imposing buildings across the UK tonight. The participating cities – London, Liverpool, and Glasgow – had been revealed in advance, but the exact locations were shrouded in mystery.
From sundown on Batman Day, the huge and instantly recognisable Bat-Signal travelled up the country, being projected onto Odeon Luxe Leicester Square (London), St George’s Hall (Liverpool), the City Chambers (Glasgow) and DC inspired restaurant Park Row (London) along the way. Eagle eyed fans who spotted the building and came to the Bat-Signal were also in with the chance of being surprised with Batman themed rewards, as the first ten people on site who approached event organisers and declared “I love Batman” won the recently released Batman: The World Anthology and Batman Anthology 4k/blu-ray/dvd collection.
Thomas, 6, from Glasgow says:
“I love Batman. He’s the best superhero there is!”
Deborah, 30, from Liverpool says:
“I just knew Batman coming to Liverpool would be an occasion not to be missed… and it feels great to be right”
Steven Daytes, 44 from London says:
“We ran all the way to be the first people to see the signal in London! We’re huge Batman fans”
The exact locations were teased on Instagram and Facebook by DC GB Facebook and DCUKComics on the 18th to give Bat-Signal seekers a head start.
